I never understood how the China-exclusive GRE fits into AMD's overall product segmentation strategy. A SKU in-between the regular 9070 and 9070 XT just for the Chinese market?

It's a hot-clocked 9070 with less CUs, so maybe it's mostly for salvaging slightly-bad dies? I naively assume that the average buyer/user in China trends slightly towards the "esports"-like titles and/or is more price-sensitive than western buyers/users so the lower VRAM also kinda fits the market.
Solid theory. A price focused GPU with a bit more power in some specific areas.
